KENYA

India - Kenya Economic and Commercial Relations

Trade links between the two countries strengthened after India attained its independence in 1947 and Kenya in 1963. Thereafter, the trade between the two countries has grown steadily but is yet to reach its full potential. A significant increase in the volume of trade was experienced in 1980s following the signing of Indo-Kenya Trade Agreement in March 1981. Through the Agreement, India and Kenya accord to each other the most favoured nation status. Following the introduction of economic liberalisation in both countries in early 1990s, the trade volume experienced a further growth.
